For the last 2 weeks, Lennon and I have been hanging out in Texas with my sister/brother in law, 2 nephews and niece. Some days we did a lot, some days we did nothing...and most days we argued over this guy:
That's my boyfriend, closing pitcher for the San Fransisco Giants.
We took all 4 kids to a wildlife center called Fossil Rim. It was a 12 mile road on tons of acres and at least 20 different types of roaming animals. By far the best attraction (I guess that is what you would call the animals) were the Giraffes. They were the only animal you could feed out of your hand, all the others you just tossed food out the window. I could have spent hours there...it was so cool!
We spent a day making these super cute organza flower clips and headbands for Karlee and Lennon's hair. Nikki added some super cute rings to her flower collection, and I made a bib necklace. I love, love, love how they came out!
Nikki and I also made more jam...again...I consider us jam making experts now. We made Strawberry, Strawberry-Peach and Raspberry. So good...and I think we have enough jam to last us till next summer :)
At night we tried to get in as many games of this as we could:
It was a fun trip (minus the Tropical Storms and Tornado Warnings, which I knew nothing about, so I loaded up all the kids to take Karlee to Cheer Practice, then drove back to the house, waited till she was down practicing and loaded everyone up to pick her up!)...I wish Lennon lived closer to her cousins (aka I wish I lived closer to Nikki, haha)...she loves them tons and looks up to Cannen more than anyone! These are just a few of random pictures I took while we were there:
